Three takeaways from Oregon's 8-7 win over Vanderbilt at the Nashville Regional

The Oregon Ducks are one win away from advancing to a super regional. The Ducks (39-20) delivered an 8-7 upset win over Vanderbilt (42-19) in the winner's bracket for the Nashville Regional Saturday at Hawkins Fields. The host Commodores entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 6 team in the nation and the No. 1 seed in the region, but the No. 2 Ducks raced out to an early lead and hung on. With the win, Oregon is now slated to play at 6 p.m. Sunday, where it will face the winner of Sunday afternoon's elimination game between Vanderbilt and Stanford. If the Ducks win that game, they will advance to a super regional. If they lose, they will play a winner-take-all game on Monday against the same opponent. Until then, here are three takeaways from Oregon's gritty win over the regional hosts.
